John Harding is sat home" at his ne'
store, on Pearl street. The Methods
brethren and sisters are discussing tn
question of better parsonage. The
surely need it. The old shell at presen
used as parsonage might do for raj
trap, but is hardly fit for a Minister-o
anybody else -. David L. Davis, known
as "Tropic" Davis, was severely and dan
gerously injured to-day at Tropic shaft
oa the East side of town, the result of
fall, we believe. Mr.. Davis has been bad
ly crushed and bruised on several occa
sions, and the chances seem greatl.
against his recovery.
THURsDAY.-Weh have been taking some
Temperance observations to-day. There
is no mistaking the fact that the Temper
anee element has reached point where
fooling must cease. The meeting at the
Court House tonight was ample proof OF
the temper of the people on this point
The speeches all had very definite ring
and the applause came in at points that
were too plain to be doubted. There were
some discussions which taught some OF
the participants little more fully per-
haps just what the temper of the crowd
really was, but the general tone and tenor
of the meeting was good and in the right
direction Judge Miller voiced the gen.
eral sentiment, when he said that in the
Spring election he was "going to vote for
Temperance men," That's precisely what
all the good people of this town ought to
do. 1t is not time for using a party
lash. We have been accused of being
lukewarm in the Republican cause, and
leaning toward the Prohibitionists- just
because we had more political sense than
the fellows who accused US. What is the
result, in every such case? The man who
attempts to use the party lash on Tenn
perance man invariably has to turn and
larrup his own thick hide with the atten-
uated thong. The only lash that can urge
on a Temperance man is the lash of con-
science, and as long as he is doing his duty
this will not lash him. This thing of
playing Temperance man on dress parade
and jumping back into the old parties
When the test comes, is not the thing.
Temperance men will vote for Temper
,ance men-at least they ought to do so.
If this is done, it will not be long until
politicians will cease following them with
curses, and follow them with pleadings..
-. A terrible storm of wind swept over
this place to-day, shaking things up in
lively manner. A portion of Gray's big
foundry was blown in, doing much dam
age A few shingles of slate were blown
from the Court House, the big fish on the
School House was nearly blown down,
and numerous chimneys wrenched and
broken Some of the windows of the Jail
building were broken, and big show
window in the store of Smith & Lupton
was broken. John Hartley was con-
victed of adultery, the jury coming in
about half-past seven this evening.
FRIDAY-A beautiful Spring day.
The prisoners were sentenced to-day and
Court adjourned. Fraley seems to be toll
erably well pleased with his ten-year SEN
tence to the Penitentiary. 1t might have
been worse. "A great number of yourg
folks went to the Bum School House, to
attend the closing exercises of that School
A number walked. and many went on
horse back. We called at Gray's build
ing this afternoon. A large portion of |
the building was razed, the walls laid over,
bodily. A portion of the roof was blown
clear over the residence building, which |
building was but slightly damaged. Men |
are busily engaged in clearing away the
debris, and repairing the damage. 49,.
David T. Davis died at his residence on
West street this afternoon, from the effect
of the terrible crushing he sustained at |
the Tropic Shaft. 1t is scarcely known
how he did get hurt, but fell in some way
Mr.. Davis was singularly unfortunate,
having sustained several accidents, and
undergone some dangerous sickness. He
was good Christian man, beloved by a
large circle of friends. His old-time
friend Thomas Jones (North) was with
him when he died. &c. A. Smith is
moving into the Sam Lake house on South
Street. Our people are beginning to
tackle the fruit trees again-but the
is little suspicious about
coming out yet. Joe Swan, of Cove is
In town to-day. We have frequently
been asked to-day chow are you going to
vote p and our reply has been "we will

If these Temperance men be found on the
ticket, we shall be pleased
but if they are not, it will be unfortunate
for the Republican party, for scores of
men will kick upon whisky ticket in a
Temperance town. So, look out, friends!
There must be no more monkey work
here.
